Here's a little something.

Various forms of media were consumed daily by the Feathers of H Nest. Everyone had their own preferences and bias to which ones were memorable but only a select few had the honour of being renowned
CIty-wide.
Some examples of those special few were:
- Endless Smoke was a documentary that depicted the Smoke War and used first-hand accounts from Fixers on both sides of the war. The tales of heroics and those of desperation were captured as stunning reenactments that allowed its viewers to finally witness what Fixers could be capable of. The true Singularity of that fallen Wing still remains unknown and remained the target of speculation.
- The podcast, Guiding Hands, tried to uncover the history behind each Finger and what allowed them to become so powerful. It was initially dismissed as fictional nonsense until events that only the Fingers themselves were privy to were discussed on air. To this very day, the bounty on this individual still stands unclaimed.
- The last stream of Havok, a 2nd Grade H Corp Fixer, as he scored a mutual kill on the Distortion known as Forget-Me-Not. The Distortion (a being who held the rank of Star of The City) was invisible to the senses of anyone within a certain radius and so Havok relied upon the instructions and callouts given by his viewers. It is estimated that viewers donated roughly 450 million Ahn during his final moments as he called his son.
- The TV series, District Delights, was a cooking show that focused upon showcasing the culinary skills of chefs from every District (District 1 was excluded for obvious reasons). The infamous District 23 episode was heavily censored when it aired in all Wings save for W Corp and H Corp. An interview conducted with Chef Ramsey at the time revealed that 'the ingredients were too raw' and 'that he could still taste the filth the Rats ate'.
Your studio was merely one amongst the ever-growing list of media producers. Unfortunately for the studio, the dream of creating such a masterpiece was an impossibility. You could barely afford the rent of the buildings, the Wing/Head taxes and the wages of your employees.
You needed a hit to tide you over. Not a small film, not enough funds for that. Maybe a mini TV series? It had to be something that grabbed the attention of the viewers and held it until the episode ended. Fixers definitely grabbed people's attention especially those who lived in Wings. Too many damn shows at the moment featured Fixers so how do you differentiate from the rest? It had to be something people didn't normally associate with Fixers. Actually, you needed Fixers in the first place before continuing on that train of thought. Maybe-
"Boss Man, Hailey's on the phone again! Wants to speak with you about the delivery next week!"
Of all the-
That stupid, pompous assho-
"They were a delightful bunch, that pair of Fixers! All I had to do was let out a crass or crude comment and they squirmed! The blonde looked like cave my face in but thankfully she did that those pesky Rats instead!"
A memory of an old conversation resurfaced. Well, technically it was Hailey recounting his misadventures during his vacation while you stewed in silence.
Still though... Fixers escorting a Nest Dweller? It wouldn't be as exciting as it sounds. You needed something to spice it up...
Sighing, you pick up the phone and quickly cut off Hailey. "Hailey, before we get on with business do you still happen to remember the Fixer Office you hired?".
"Oh? Whatever for? Looking for inspiration in the Backstreets?"
"I have something of an idea..."

Wanted to write something about Rats gossiping about Lily and Kai taking down the Jugglerz and the possible aftermath of the Rat King fiasco but somehow did this instead.
